  8. After it is done, use a small brush to dip some red yeast rice powder and brush it on the dough. Then let it rise for about 10 minutes. Don't let it rise for too long, otherwise the texture will not be clear. It is best to fix the shape before putting it in the steamer. Steam over high heat for 15 minutes, simmer for 5 minutes and serve.
